Connect-Ease^® Champions Distributors Driving Growth

Demand is growing for the companys unique plug & play power rigging solutions designed specifically for todays sophisticated fishing/marine electronics, trolling motors, and lithium batteries

Connect-Ease^® founder, Cal Munkvold, says the companys mission hasnt changed over the past decade.

We started with the goal of creating boat rigging products that would remove frustration from the equation, while providing the very best in materials, parts, and componentsand excellent customer service. That is still our mission, says Munkvold.

Munkvold admits it was a long journey to the point the company is at today, convincing boaters and anglers of a better way to rig their boatsone that would allow more time fishing, less time rigging.

Thus, he nods his cap to longtime distributor partner, Northern Wholesale Supply, for standing by Connect-Ease, and introducing their vast dealer customer-base to Connect-Ease products.

Northern Wholesale is our favorite regional vendor for the northland. Theyve been an invaluable partner for the past eight years, placing our products next to the big, recognizable marine electronics names as problem-solving marine accessories that dealers need to know about. This has been critical to our growth. We just had a great experience at the Northern Wholesale Show in Red Wing, MN, on September 18^th. Theres been great acceptance and customers like our products and what were doing.

Munkvold also points to other distributors who have helped him grow, including SeaWide Distributionthe largest distribution network in the marine aftermarketand CWR Wholesale Distributiona large entity known for its global marine product drop-shipping.

Both are wonderful distributors, easy to work with, helpful, and do a lot of product promotion. I highly recommend both, adds Munkvold.

Along the way, Munkvold says hes learned a lot from all of these distributors and has, in turn, invested more time, effort, and money into everything from the brands R&D to marketing to help his partners provide customers unique, recognizable, problem-solving products.

Weve become known for our quality. In fact, weve only had one warranty issue in the past ten years, notes Munkvold. Everywhere in the chainfrom distributor to dealer to customerwere trying really hard to provide the best support we possibly can.

The marine electronics, fishing, and greater RV markets are paying close attention to Connect-Ease, evident in the companys recent Best of Category win in Non-Motorized Boating Accessories at the ICAST 2024 show in Orlando, Florida, for their YAK-EASE Power Pak Pro design, conceived to make rigging fishing kayaks easy, quick, and reliable. The company also attended the 2024 BASSMASTER Classic, continues visibility at other key tournaments as support, and tradeshows in RV/shooting sports/off grid vertical markets.
